With 1.5 billion yen in total gross, the number of ticket sales for Violet Evergarden the Movie was around 1.11 million, and the anime film still remains the 3rd highest-grossing anime film from Kyoto Animation, behind Naoko Yamada's A Silent Voice and K-ON! the Movie.

To celebrate the milestone, a special talk will be held with director Taichi Ishidate, sound director Yota Tsuruoka, and the voice actors for Violet (Yui Ishikawa) and Gilbert (Daisuke Namikawa) at MOVIX Kyoto with live viewings in cinemas around Japan, though no date is set as of yet.
